Tobago

Tobago, West Indies - (Republic of Trinidad & Tobago)

Flights - direct flights are available or via Trinidad or numerous other options (eg via Barbados).

There's more than you think!

You need go no further than the villa's verandah, where gentle trade winds cool you down.

But going out, right across the quiet local road from the villa, "Warm Pool" is a natural beach, offering safe bathing and an ideal haven to comb for driftwood. And when the tide is right there are plenty of lovely walks along the beaches.

Nearby beaches, within short driving distances, include Canoe Bay (a peaceful sandy beach with safe bathing and plenty of birds to watch) and Pigeon Point which is probably the best known beach in Tobago, and one of the most famous of the entire Caribbean. This beach has everything! Soft, silvery sands, plenty of places to eat & drink and the warm Caribbean Sea for safe bathing. Glass-bottom boats ply their business of taking guests to visit the magical undersea world of Buccoo Reef and a return via the Nylon Pool.
There are plenty of other beaches well worth visiting, including Store Bay, Pirate's Bay, Castara and Englishman's Bay.

A trip to the Tobago Forest Reserve is a must! 14000 acres of Tropical Rain Forest, protected since 1776 (making it the oldest protected rainforest in the western hemisphere) can be visited with one of many guides who will identify the full and varied bird-life, trees & plants.

Scarborough is a lively town, where Tobagonians go about their daily lives in their usual friendly and colourful way. There's a market which is busiest on Fridays & Saturdays but throughout the week tropical fruit & vegetables, meat and fish are sold. There are also plenty of pretty and interesting villages worthy of your time: Charlotteville, Speyside & Plymouth to name just a few.

And eating out is a delight in Tobago. Calypso Cafe at the Inn on the Bay serves meals throughout the day, and Bonkers at the hotel's sister, Toucan Inn, has a solid reputation. But when you arrive at the villa, an Eating Out guide will tell you more and get your mouth watering.
